NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2026
(1) Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Medpace Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Medpace” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global provider of clinical research-based drug and medical device development services. The Company partners with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies in the development and execution of clinical trials. The Company’s drug development services focus on full service Phase I-IV clinical development services and include development plan design, project management, regulatory affairs, clinical monitoring, data management and analysis, pharmacovigilance new drug application submissions, post-marketing clinical support, laboratory services, clinical human pharmacology, imaging services, and electrocardiography reading support for clinical trials.
The Company’s operations are principally based in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and outcomes could differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Share Repurchases
In 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a share repurchase program which has been amended several times to increase the aggregate amount of the share repurchase authorization. The Company did not execute any share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,193,011 shares for $389.8 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has remaining authorization of $821.7 million under the repurchase program.
Repurchases under the share repurchase program are executed in the open market or negotiated transactions under trading plans put in place pursuant to Rule 10b5-1. The Company constructively retired the repurchased shares associated with these approved share repurchases, except for a small portion which were retained as Treasury Shares on the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders' equity. Retired share repurchase amounts paid in excess of par value are reflected within Accumulated deficit/Retained earnings in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” to improve disclosures by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” to modernize the accounting for software development costs and specify disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted as

of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, "Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" which establishes authoritative US GAAP guidance for accounting for grants received for consistency in applying the accounting rules across business entities. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
(2) Net Income Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s Restricted Stock Awards (“RSA”) are considered participating securities because they are legally issued at the date of grant and holders are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting term.
The computation of diluted EPS includes additional common shares, such as unvested Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) and stock options with exercise prices less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period (“in-the-money options”), which would be considered outstanding. This assumes that additional shares would have to be issued in cases where the exercise price of stock options is less than the value of the common stock being acquired because the cash proceeds received from the stock option holder would not be sufficient to acquire that same number of shares. The Company does not compute diluted EPS in cases where the inclusion of such additional shares would be anti-dilutive in effect.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except for earnings per share):

| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2026 |  | 2025 |
Numerator: |  |  |  |
Net income available to common shareholders | $ | 123,870 |  |  | $ | 114,595 |  |
Denominator: |  |  |  |
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding | 28,445 |  |  | 30,387 |  |
Effect of diluted shares | 517 |  |  | 809 |  |
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding | 28,962 |  |  | 31,196 |  |
Earnings per common share: |  |  |  |
Net income per common share—Basic | $ | 4.35 |  |  | $ | 3.77 |  |
Net income per common share—Diluted | $ | 4.28 |  |  | $ | 3.67 |  |

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the computation of diluted EPS excludes the effect of (in thousands) 0.5 and 80.1 stock options, respectively, due to each respective period’s average fair value of the Company’s common stock not exceeding the exercise prices.
(3) Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows accounting guidance related to fair value measurements that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of “observable” inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy specifies three levels based on the inputs, as follows:
Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-9-

Table of Contents
Level 2: Valuations based on directly observable inputs or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Valuations based on unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity representing management’s determination of assumptions of how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.
The fair value of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled, net, accounts payable, accrued expenses and advanced billings approximate their carrying amounts due to their short term maturities.
The Company does not have material recurring fair value measurements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There were no material transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
(4) Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets and liabilities are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets within the accounts reflected below.
Contract Assets
Accounts receivable represent amounts due from the Company’s customers who are concentrated primarily in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. Unbilled represents revenue recognized to date that has not been billed or is not yet contractually billable to the customer. In general, amounts become billable upon the achievement of negotiated contractual events, in accordance with predetermined payment schedules or when a reimbursable expense has been incurred. Amounts classified to unbilled are those billable to customers within one year from the respective balance sheet date.

(7) Debt
On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) providing for an unsecured credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facility”) through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Medpace, Inc., as borrower (the “Borrower”), and Medpace IntermediateCo, Inc., as guarantor (the “Guarantor”). At the same time the Company entered into the Loan Agreement, the Guarantor executed a Guaranty Agreement providing for its guarantee of the payment and performance of the obligations under the Loan Agreement.
On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Loan Agreement, which changed the aggregate principal amount that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility to up to $10.0 million. The Credit Facility expires April 30, 2027 and bears interest at a rate of the sum of The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 100 basis points (1.00%) or the highest of the Prime Rate, the sum of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 50 basis points (0.50%) and the sum of Daily Simple SOFR plus 100 basis points (1.00%). As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no indebtedness under the Credit Facility.

(10) Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 16.1% and 3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 varied from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of the state taxes, which was favorably offset by excess tax benefits recognized from share-based compensation and tax benefits related to Foreign Derived Deduction Eligible Income.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. Where relevant, the Company has reflected any material items that were enacted in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
(11) Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including employment claims and claims related to other business transactions. The Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of such proceedings, but it believes that adequate reserves have been recorded and losses already recognized with respect to such proceedings, which were immaterial as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be incurred related to these actions; however, the Company believes that such potential losses were immaterial as of March 31, 2026.
On April 6, 2026, Jan Durbin filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (Case No. 1:26-cv-00346) against Medpace Holdings, Inc., August J. Troendle, Jesse J. Geiger, and Kevin M. Brady alleging violations of federal securities laws. Plaintiff alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements related to the Company’s book-to-bill ratio in a scheme to deceive the market based upon Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under Section 10(b). Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs. A liability has not been recognized related to this matter because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable.
Purchase Commitments
The Company has several minimum purchase commitments for project related supplies totaling $18.7 million as of March 31, 2026. In return for the commitment, Medpace receives preferential pricing. The commitments expire at various times through 2030.

Leased Real Estate
Campus Headquarters Leases
The Company entered into an operating lease for the occupancy of office space in a building in Cincinnati, Ohio with an entity that is wholly owned by the chief executive officer of the Company. The Company has evaluated its relationship with the related party and concluded that the related party is not a variable interest entity because the Company has no direct ownership interest or relationship other than the lease. The lease was renewed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 for a term of ten years through December 2032 with a renewal option for one 10-year term at prevailing market rates. The Company pays rent, taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses that arise from the use of the property. Annual base rent for its corporate headquarters allows for adjustments to the rental rate annually for increases in the consumer price index. The Company has determined that the lease is an operating lease. Operating lease cost recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $0.7 million. The operating lease cost was allocated between Total direct costs and Selling, general and administrative in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and with the information under the heading “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. This item and the related discussion contain forward-looking statements reflecting current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the “Forward-Looking Statements” below and “Risk Factors” in “Item 1A Risk Factors” of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our results of operations; financial position and performance; liquidity and our ability to fund our business operations and initiatives; capital expenditure and debt service obligations; business strategies, plans and goals, including those related to marketing, acquisitions and expansion of our business; product approvals and plans; industry trends; general economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates and other pricing pressures that could impact our operating margins; expectations regarding consumer behaviors and trends; our culture and operating philosophy; human resource management; arrangements with and delivery of our services to the customers; conversion of backlog; dividend policy; legal proceedings; and our objectives for future operations. The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” “likely,” “opportunity,” “may,” “could,” “outlook,” “can,” “trend,” “might,” “drives,” “hope,” “potential,” “project,” “predict,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial or other trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date it is made. These forward-looking statements are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, changes in circumstances and other factors that are difficult to predict. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment in which new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed may not occur and our financial condition and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. In other words, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and inherently involve a wide range of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. We caution you therefore against relying on these forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include regional, national, and global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions, and the other factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 in “Item 1A Risk Factors,” “Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. For a further discussion of the risks relating to our business, see “Item 1A Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and “Part II – Other Information, Item 1A Risk Factors” herein.
Business Overview
We are one of the world’s leading clinical contract research organizations, or CROs, by revenue, solely focused on providing scientifically-driven outsourced clinical development services to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Our mission is to accelerate the global development of safe and effective medical therapeutics. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by our disciplined operating model centered on providing full-service Phase I-IV clinical development services and our therapeutic expertise. We believe this combination results in timely and cost-effective delivery of clinical development services for our customers. We believe that we are a partner of choice for small-

and mid-sized biopharmaceutical companies based on our ability to consistently utilize our full-service, disciplined operating model to deliver timely and high-quality results for our customers.
We focus on conducting clinical trials across all major therapeutic areas, with particular strength in Oncology, Metabolic Disease, Cardiology, Central Nervous System, or CNS, and Antiviral and Anti-infective, or AVAI. Our global platform includes approximately 6,300 employees across 46 countries as of March 31, 2026, providing our customers with broad access to diverse markets and patient populations as well as local regulatory expertise and market knowledge.
How We Generate Revenue
We earn fees through the performance of services detailed in our customer contracts. Contract scope and pricing is typically based on either a fixed-fee or unit-of-service model, with consideration of activities performed by third parties, as well as ancillary costs necessary to deliver on the contract scope that are reimbursable by our customers. Our contracts can range in duration from a few months to several years. These contracts are individually priced and negotiated based on the anticipated project scope, including the complexity of the project and the performance risks inherent in the project. The majority of our contracts are structured with an upfront fee that is collected at the time of contract signing, and the balance of the fee is collected over the duration of the contract either through an arranged billing schedule or upon completion of certain performance targets or defined milestones.
Revenue, which is distinct from billing and cash receipt, is recognized based on the satisfaction of the individual performance obligations identified in each contract. Substantially all of our customer contracts consist of a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual services defined in the contracts are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract, and therefore not distinct. Our performance obligations are generally satisfied over time and recognized as services are performed. The progression of our contract performance obligations are measured primarily utilizing the input method of cost to cost. Cancellation provisions in our contracts allow our customers to terminate a contract either immediately or according to advance notice terms specified within the applicable contract, which is typically 30 days. Contract cancellation may occur for various reasons, including, but not limited to, adverse patient reactions, lack of efficacy, or inadequate patient enrollment. Upon cancellation, we are entitled to fees for services rendered through the date of termination, including payment for subsequent services necessary to conclude the study or close out the contract. These fees are typically discussed and agreed upon with the customer and are realized as revenue when we believe the amount can be estimated reliably and its realization is probable. Changes in revenue from period to period are driven primarily by new business volume and task order execution activity, project cancellations, and the mix of active studies during a given period that can vary based on therapeutic area and or study life cycle stage.
Costs and Expenses
Our costs and expenses are comprised primarily of our total direct costs, selling, general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization and income taxes.
Total Direct Costs
Total direct costs are primarily driven by labor and related employee benefits, but also include contracted third party service related expenses, fees paid to site investigators, reimbursed out of pocket expenses, laboratory supplies and other expenses contributing to service delivery. The other costs of service delivery can include office rent, utilities, supplies and software licenses which are allocated between Total direct costs and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the estimated contribution among service delivery and support function efforts on a percentage basis. Total direct costs are expensed as incurred and are not deferred in anticipation of contracts being awarded or finalization of changes in scope. Total direct costs, as a percentage of net revenue, can vary from period to period due to project labor efficiencies, changes in workforce, compensation/bonus programs and service mix.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily driven by compensation and related employee benefits, as well as rent, utilities, supplies, software licenses, professional fees (e.g., legal and accounting expenses), bad debt expense, travel, marketing and other operating expenses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on our property and equipment on the straight-line method at rates adequate to allocate the cost of the applicable assets over their estimated useful lives, which is three to five years for computer hardware, software, phone, and medical imaging equipment, five to seven years for furniture and fixtures and other equipment, and thirty to forty years
-19-

Table of Contents
for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the associated remaining lease term.
Amortization
Amortization relates to finite-lived intangible assets recognized as expense using the straight-line method or using an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision consists of federal, state and local taxes on income in multiple jurisdictions. Our income tax is impacted by the pre-tax earnings in jurisdictions with varying tax rates and any related tax credits that may be available to us. Our current and future provision for income taxes will vary from statutory rates due to the impact of valuation allowances in certain countries, income tax incentives, certain non-deductible expenses, and other discrete items.
Key Performance Metrics
To evaluate the performance of our business, we utilize a variety of financial and performance metrics. These key measures include new business awards, cancellations and backlog.
New Business Awards, Cancellations and Backlog
New business awards represent the value of anticipated future net revenue that has been awarded during the period that is recognized in backlog. This value is recognized upon the signing of a contract or receipt of a written pre-contract confirmation from a customer that confirms an agreement in principle on budget and scope. New business awards also include contract amendments, or changes in scope, where the customer has provided written authorization for changes in budget and scope or has approved us to perform additional work as of the measurement date. Awards may not be recognized as backlog after consideration of a number of factors, including whether (i) the relevant net revenue is expected only after a pending regulatory hurdle, which might result in cancellation of the study, (ii) the customer funding needed for commencement of the study is not believed to have been secured or (iii) study timelines are uncertain or not well defined. In addition, study amounts that extend beyond a three-year timeline are not included in backlog. The number and amount of new business awards can vary significantly from period to period, and an award’s contractual duration can range from several months to several years based on customer and project specifications.
Cancellations arise in the normal course of business and are reflected when we receive written confirmation from the customer to cease work on a contractual agreement. The majority of our customers can terminate our contracts without cause upon 30 days’ notice. Similar to new business awards, the number and amount of cancellations can vary significantly period over period due to timing of customer correspondence and study-specific circumstances.
Net new business awards represent gross new business awards received in a period offset by total cancellations in that period. Net new business awards were $618.4 million and $500.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Backlog represents anticipated future net revenue from net new business awards that have not commenced or are currently in process but not complete. Reported backlog will fluctuate based on new business awards, changes in the scope of existing contracts, cancellations, revenue recognition on existing contracts and foreign exchange adjustments from non-U.S. dollar denominated backlog. As of March 31, 2026, our backlog increased by $83.2 million, or 2.9%, to $2,929.2 million compared to $2,846.0 million as of March 31, 2025. Included within backlog as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $1,930.0 million to $1,950.0 million that we expect to convert to net revenue over the next twelve months, with the remainder expected to convert to net revenue thereafter.
The effect of foreign currency adjustments on backlog was as follows: unfavorable foreign currency adjustments of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and favorable foreign currency adjustments of $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Backlog and net new business award metrics may not be reliable indicators of our future period revenue as they are subject to a variety of factors that may cause material fluctuations from period to period. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the scope of projects, cancellations, and duration and timing of services provided.

Exchange Rate Fluctuations
The majority of our contracts and operational transactions are U.S. dollar denominated. The Euro represents the largest foreign currency denomination of our contractual and operational exposure. As a result, a portion of our revenue and expenses are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. We have translated the Euro into U.S. dollars using the following average exchange rates based on data obtained from www.xe.com:

Total revenue
Total revenue increased by $148.0 million, to $706.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $558.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by growth within the Metabolic, Oncology, Central Nervous System and AVAI therapeutic areas, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Total direct costs
Total direct costs increased by $130.1 million, to $510.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $380.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributed to higher reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses and higher personnel costs to support the growth in service activities. Reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses, which can fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing of program initiation and closeout, increased $109.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. The higher personnel costs portion increased by $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $10.0 million, to $47.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $57.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $11.9 million, partially offset by higher personnel costs, excluding stock-

based compensation expense, to support the growth in service activities of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense of $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, remained relatively consistent with $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Miscellaneous income (expense), net
Miscellaneous income (expense), net changed by $2.8 million, to $1.0 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $1.8 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change was mainly attributable to foreign exchange gains or losses, such as those that arise in connection with the revaluation of short-term intercompany balances between our domestic and international subsidiaries and from the settlement of third-party accounts receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than the local currency of the entity making the payment, and third-party investment gains or losses, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest income, net
Interest income, net decreased by $1.3 million, to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was mainly attributable to decreased interest income on Cash and cash equivalents, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Income tax provision
Income tax provision increased by $20.1 million, to $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The overall effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 16.1%, compared to an overall effective tax rate of 3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the income tax provision was primarily attributable to a decrease in excess tax benefits recognized from share-based compensation and an increase in pre-tax book income compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the overall effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a decrease in excess tax benefits recognized from share-based compensation compared to the same period in the prior year.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. Where relevant, the Company has reflected any material items that were enacted in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flows and from borrowings under our unsecured credit facility consisting of up to a $10.0 million revolving line of credit which we entered into on September 30, 2019 (the “Credit Facility”). All $10.0 million of the line of credit is available for borrowing as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $652.7 million which increased from $497.0 million as of December 31, 2025. Approximately $21.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, none of which was restricted, was held by our foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2026.
Our expected primary cash needs on both a short and long-term basis are for investment in operational growth, including additional lease commitments, capital expenditures, share repurchases, selective strategic bolt-on acquisitions, other investments, and other general corporate needs. We have historically funded our operations and growth with cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. We expect to continue expanding our operations through organic growth and potentially highly selective bolt-on acquisitions and investments. As of March 31, 2026, cash commitments to support operating business needs include lease liabilities discussed in Note 8 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, purchase commitments discussed in Note 11 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and capital expenditures primarily related to infrastructure investments in our facilities, equipment and technology. Capital spending as a percentage of revenue decreased by 83 basis points to 0.96% in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. We expect these activities will be funded from existing cash, cash flow from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our existing or future credit facilities or other debt.

We have deemed that foreign earnings will be indefinitely reinvested and therefore we have not provided taxes on these earnings. While we do not anticipate the need to repatriate these foreign earnings for liquidity purposes given our cash flows from operations and available borrowings under existing and future credit facilities, we would incur taxes on these earnings if the need for repatriation due to liquidity purposes arises. We believe that our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our cash needs for the next 12 months and on a longer-term basis. However, we cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our Credit Facility or otherwise, in an amount sufficient to fund our liquidity needs.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operations are driven mainly by net income, deferred income tax provision, depreciation, noncash lease expense, stock-based compensation expense and net movement in accounts receivable and unbilled, net, other assets and liabilities, net, lease liabilities, and advanced billings. Accounts receivable and unbilled, net and advanced billings fluctuate on a regular basis as we perform our services, bill our customers and ultimately collect on those receivables. We attempt to negotiate payment terms in order to provide for payments prior to or soon after the provision of services, but this timing of collection can vary significantly on a period by period comparative basis.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities was $151.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 beginning with net income of $123.9 million. Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities were $36.6 million, primarily related to deferred income tax provision of $18.5 million, depreciation of $6.8 million, noncash lease expense of $5.8 million and stock based compensation expense of $4.9 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $8.7 million in operating cash flows and was primarily driven by changes in other assets and liabilities, net of $10.2 million and decreased lease liabilities of $5.3 million, partially offset by decreased accounts receivable and unbilled, net of $7.8 million and increased advanced billings of $2.0 million.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities was $125.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 beginning with net income of $114.6 million. Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities were $30.1 million, primarily related to stock based compensation expense of $16.9 million, depreciation of $6.7 million and noncash lease expense of $6.1 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $18.9 million in operating cash flows and was primarily driven by decreased accrued expenses of $23.2 million and increased prepaid expenses and other current assets of $17.6 million, partially offset by changes in other assets and liabilities, net of $11.6 million, increased accounts payable of $10.7 million and increased advanced billings of $8.1 million.

Share Repurchases
In 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a share repurchase program which has been amended several times to increase the aggregate amount of the share repurchase authorization. The Company did not execute any share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,193,011 shares for $389.8 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has remaining authorization of $821.7 million under the repurchase program.
Repurchases under the share repurchase program are executed in the open market or negotiated transactions under trading plans put in place pursuant to Rule 10b5-1. The Company constructively retired the repurchased shares associated with these approved share repurchases, except for a small portion which were retained as Treasury Shares on the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders' equity. Retired share repurchase amounts paid in excess of par value are reflected within Accumulated deficit/Retained earnings in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Indebtedness
As of March 31, 2026, we had no indebtedness. Refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding our Credit Facility.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, requires us to make a variety of decisions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures, including the selection of appropriate accounting principles and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In reaching such decisions, we apply judgment based on our understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances, including our historical experience and other assumptions. Actual results could differ from our estimates. We are committed to incorporating accounting principles, assumptions and estimates that promote the representational faithfulness, verifiability, neutrality and transparency of the accounting information included in the financial statements.
There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies and estimates as previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for management’s discussion of the effect of recent accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as compared to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (the Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (the Principal Financial Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d) -15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms and rules, and the
-24-

Table of Contents
material information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that control objectives are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company will be detected. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals, by collusion of two or more people or by management override. Over time, controls can become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance may deteriorate. Further, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any cost-effective control system, misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In the ordinary course of business, we routinely enhance our information systems by either upgrading current systems or implementing new ones. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors
